Baseball News and Rumors From The National League
The St Paul club of the American ver club in the Northwestern league had Walsh sold to Vancouver last spring. He bats .275 and ranks second in extra base hits but lies injured in hospital from last week. Walsh played first base for Fall River in 1911. As pennant races finish in 1913 magnates plan next year’s campaign with trades and managerial changes. Tommy Connolly, Boston Braves outfielder, began as a pitcher in the Central league before finding hitting power. The Braves claim no more license to be in sixth than the Cardinals, while the Pirates push to fill open dates with double headers. McAleer argues McBride won’t manage the Red Sox next year, awaiting figures with Carrigan. Leever is released as Kansas City manager in the Federal League. Wallie Smith joins the Senators as a new Atlanta infielder, matching Jimmy Veix in bat.
